Passengers: Review

A couple of beautiful people (Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt) take a 120 year hibernation journey to the deep outer reaches of space for life on a new colony planet with 5000 of their fellow earthlings. There’s a meteoric smash up to part of the ship about thirty years in and one of them gets woken up early.

Bummer.

SPOILERS: He fiddles around being all human and bored for a year then gets it in his head to murder her by also waking her up. Which he does. They fall in love until (about a year later) she figures out what he did. There’s a cool gravity-loss-in-the-pool moment and some flying in space stuff. Then they fix the ship, she saves him, they reconcile and are stuck together for 88 more years. The end.
